Mr. North,
You say, "The word "fascist" ought to be preserved for people who publicly celebrate the use of civil violence as a good in itself."
I'm curious. Do not Mao's Cultural Revolution, Pol Pot's Year Zero and Stalin's dekulikization campaign meet your criteria? If not, why not?
Similar "civil violence" campaigns have occurred in every Communist country, although not always as drastic or affecting as many people as those I listed above.
It is generally accepted that Commies killed roughly 100M people during the 20th century, a multiple of those killed during this period by any other ideology. If killing 100,000,000 people isn't a public celebration of civil violence, what would qualify in your mind?
Thanks,
Sherman
